Description ActiveAcl provides a high-performance, unintrusive and very flexible approach to fine grained access control. Features: * ease of use - very comprehensible API, uses polymorphic collections for associations. * advanced design - uses SQL nested sets for inheritance, thus only needs a single DB query to decide on a permission request. * scalable - there are no real benchmarks yet. But the system design is based on phpgacl.sourceforge.net, adding object orientation, polymorphism and two levels of caching. PhpGacl claims "A real-world working version with many added layers of complexity supports over 60,000 Accounts, 200 Groups and 300 ACO’s." Tests on my dev notebook show 10 - 30 times performance improvements compared to active_rbac. * caching - uses instance caching and optionally stores permission results in memcached using timeouts. * very flexible - grants simple (2D, like current_user.has_permission?(User::LOGIN)) and object level (3D, like admin.has_permission?(Forum::ADMIN, :on => team_forum)) permissions. Can assign and request permissions to and from every ActiveRecord model. No "hardcoded" permissions - all permissions can be assigned at runtime. * grouping - permissions are inherited at target and requester side through groups. Every model implementing an SQL nested set tree using for example acts_as_nested_set may be used as a group. * ControllerAction model loader: It maps controller actions to the DB so they can be used in permission assignment. The access object is available via calling current_action on the controller. * exchangeable DB interface: ActiveRecord and direct MySQL adapter available * supports namespaced models and single table inheritance (STI) * 100 % C0 code coverage on unit tests.
